A lot of people swear by Lysine. Its all personal choice and preference. I do believe there was recently a study that found it didn't have any effect. I say if it works for you placebo effect or not go for it.

Are you planning on getting a diagnoses?

Thanks...i think i will pick some up!

I have not been to my gyno in 4 yrs, so by the time i get my family dr to get me a referal (how stupid is that)?

the sore willl be healed. do you need an open sore to diagnoise?

Not in your case. A blood test will work just fine. And a GP can do the test.
